A Clean & Simple Christmas!

Good Morning!

Okay so I have two cards to share with you all today! Earlier this week I had a bit of a move around in my Craft Room and whilst doing so I came across a stamped image and a stamp that resulted in me sitting down and doing some colouring instead! lol

I came up with these two Clean & Simple cards. As you can see there are some subtle differences between them.

Papertake Weekly - To Die For!

Good Morning!

We have a new challenge starting at PAPERTAKE WEEKLY this week of To Die For! 

I have used this gorgeous Penny Black Reindeer Die that I bought last year, mounted it onto a gold die - cut of it, then mounted the pair onto an embossed piece of card. Resulting in a hand-made Topper of sorts!

The C&S style is to keep all the focus on the Die, with a few little sprinkles as a finishing touch!
